Well the new season kicks off this weekend. Really enjoyed the new BBC programme Touchdown USA, that featured my team the Green Bay Packers. What a place, a town the size of Darlington, with a ground that holds almost 80000. The wait for a season ticket is in excess of 20 years. A new born fan was registered by his parents onto the season ticket waiting list, only just over 117,000 ahead of him!! One day I hope to get to Lambeau Field for a home game and then drive down to Florida the following weekend to watch them play an away game.

It will be, the clubs followers are fanatics and just about everybody has or is waiting for a season ticket. The problem is that is a season ticket holder passes away, it can be passed onto a family member, so the number of available season tickets each year is relatively small. They keep increasing the capacity of Lambeau Field and taking thousands off the waiting list, but that just seems to encourage more to join the waiting list.

I'm not doubting their fan base, I'm doubting that a receipt from registering for the waiting list will show your position in the queue. That's information that is only valid at the moment that the receipt is printed and could cause misunderstandings.
For example, you could register on a Monday and be given position 100,000 and I could register the next day and be given position 98,000 we could discuss this and you might (incorrectly) think I've jumped in front of you. So I suspect this will be a reference number.

To put it another way if a fan was to join our supporters group in a couple of years time and was given a membership number of 1000 it wouldn't necessarily mean there are 1000 members in the group as the unique number they have been provided with takes into account all who have joined the group and not those who have left (or in Green Bay's situation, been given a season ticket).

Now is not the time to cry
Now’s the time to find out why
I think you’re the same as me
We’ll see things they’ll never seeDarlo’s going to live forever!

Not really considering the injuries we had to our defense, I think they did excellent to get to the NFC Championship final. Hope Atlanta stuff the Patriots, as I know a Patriot fan and he'll be intolerable if they win, plus Atlanta have never won the Superbowl.

Sad to hear the news that American Football commentator legend Kevin Cadle has passed away at such a young age. RIP Kev and thanks for helping to raise the game of American Football to it's current high in Britain.
